Today, I found out my credit card was maxed out to the penny, all thanks to purchases made on an online wine store. Apparently my mother was thirsty enough to steal from her own son. FML

Today, my mother asked me if she could borrow $200. Being the lovely daughter I am, I gave her my bank card to withdraw it herself. She gambled it away and maxed my bank account out. I had $1500 saved. FML

Today, I found out my identity was stolen. The person got credit cards in my name and didn't pay the bills, which has ruined my near perfect credit. The worst part about all of this is that I can't turn the person in. It's my mom, and sending her to jail wouldn't really work out for anyone. FML

Today, I learned why my credit score is so low. My mom stole my identity almost three years ago. Her excuse? "You didn't need good credit for anything anyways". FML

Today, all of my credit cards were frozen due to fraud. The culprit? My own mother. She rationalized it by saying I "owed" her for raising me. She didn’t even raise me. My grandma did. FML

Can you not call the credit card company and tell them they were unauthorized payments? Hope you can recover some if not all the money. FYL

Wine is treated as a human right by some. That's no excuse mind, demand it back from her, or at the very least hope she didn't change the delivery address from the billing address

Ouch. Alcoholism is a bitch. I hope she can get some help.

Sorry op. Hopefully you can get your money back and her a way to stop her obsession!

When something similar happened to me, my bank said in order to recoup the money I had to file a police report against my bio mom. I wasn't particularly comfortable with that and had to eat the loss...

If my mum stole that much from me, especially to feed a habit, I think I would report her. It might set her straight and she'll realise what she's doing. Yes she's my mother but I'd expect her to do exactly the same to me.
